<div>I just completed a 4 speed sideshift conversion to a BN1. You are correct, the transmission mounts has to be cut out and replaced with the later style. The mechanical clutch can be retained with a BN2 bellhousing, otherwise you will have to convert to
a hydraulic clutch.</div>
<div>I was able to modify the aluminium gearboxes cover to fit ( the shift lever hole is in a different position) and the BN1 carpet can be used with modification around the old shift position. Basically you cover the hole from the 3 speed.</div>

I don’t believe a 4 speed from a later model Healey will fit a BN 1 without relocating the mounting points and changing the gear box covers. The carpets will need to be modified.
